Just as I thought, absolutely wonderful. Love all the garden art and the
gator (very realistic) and I even like the toy boat, very tempted to add one of my own, hmmm? ;o) ~ jan On Sat, 14 Aug 2004 22:56:30 GMT, (Roy) wrote: I just put up a webpage showing the evolution of my pond./ water garden.

"Roy" wrote in message ... Yep, if I had it to do over again thats exactly what I would like also. We originally built the pond as we have two boys that liked to fish, so we stocked it with Florida hybred bass and copper nose bream and shell crackers and channel cats. Well the novelty soon wore off for them, and the bream multiplied and multiplied...... =========================================== Well, before the koi and goldfish can thrive and multiply, you will probably have to "do in" most of the fish you have in there now. I'm thinking of the gorgeous jewels you could have in such a huge pond and I'm drooling. Not only a large number of beautiful koi but water lilies, mini cattails, maybe some Lotus..... I have two ponds, very small by comparison. One is anywhere from 750 to 800 gallons depending on how many plants are in it - and the other is 2000 gallons. Most of my koi are the butterfly type. As I cull each year I remove the normal koi in favor of the butterflies. I was thrilled to find a young butterfly koi this summer! We're keeping him/her. :-) Since we netted the ponds we haven't lost any koi. Each year as they grow some must be removed and sold to the fish store. I'm not sure how many butterfly koi each pond will untimely hold since they're not yet full grown. -- Carol.... the frugal ponder...
